Opal Pink Sapphire Rose Cut Diamond Antique Victorian Brooch
About the Item
A spectacular antique fan motif brooch with 16 extraordinary pear shape cabochon cut Opals, 23 stunning Pink Sapphires, and 88 sparkling Rose Cut Diamonds. The Opals are just out of this world. It is extremely rare to find antique jewels with opals of this quality and size and in such superb condition. The Opals are cut in stunning pear shape cabochons, which are masterpieces of gem cutting in themselves. The largest opal is 7/8 inch (21mm) long. These opals shimmer with blue, green, red, orange, and yellow luminescence. The wonderful antique Pink Sapphires are the most beautiful color and the combination of the Sapphires and Opals is incredible. Throughout the jewel, including the borders of the fan, and the ribbons of the pendant portion, as well as on each end of the opal pendants, are set gorgeous Rose Cut Diamonds. The jewels are set in silver topped gold, as was the custom of the period. At the bottom of the brooch is an articulated ribbon form drop which appears to just drape over the loop at the bottom of the fan. The articulated drops add such lovely movement to the piece. The 6 opal drops with diamonds at each end which are set along the border of the fan are also articulated and give further movement to the jewel. The brooch could be easily converted to a necklace if desired.
